Glass Block
Glass block is an architectural element made from glass. Glass blocks provide visual obscuration while admitting light. Sidewalk skylight (also named 'pavement light') made of glass bricks in Burlington House. Glass blocks are produced for both wall and floor applications, for use in floors are normally manufactured as a single solid piece, or as a hollow glass block with thicker side walls than the standard wall blocks. These blocks are normally cast into a reinforced concrete grid work or set into a metal frame, allowing multiple units to be combined to span over openings in basements and roofs. Glass wall blocks should not be used in flooring applications.
